The Digestive System

00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,160
Digestion

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:13,640
Digestion is the process by which our body breaks down food and absorbs them.

4
00:00:14,039 --> 00:00:17,160
It takes place in the digestive system.

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,100
Every day we eat food to give us energy.

6
00:00:21,820 --> 00:00:24,199
Digestion is part of nutrition.

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,219
The Mouse

8
00:00:27,219 --> 00:00:30,699
First you take a mouthful of food.

9
00:00:30,699 --> 00:00:40,159
Your teeth cut up and chew food. Your tongue mixes the food with saliva. This mix is called bolus.

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:48,159
The salivary glands produce the saliva. We swallow the bolus and it is pushed into the pharynx.

11
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:51,539
Pharynx

12
00:00:51,539 --> 00:00:56,159
The muscles in the pharynx push the bolus down to the esophagus.

13
00:00:58,159 --> 00:00:58,960
Esophagus

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,959
The chewed food travels down the esophagus into your stomach.

15
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,959
In the stomach, you store the food you have eaten.

16
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,959
Then, the chewed food mixes with gastric juices.

17
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,959
This mixture is called chyme.

18
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,959
The gastric juices also kill bacteria that are in the stomach.

19
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:33,640
the chine travels to the small intestine liver the liver secretes bile which

20
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:41,519
helps break down fats gallbladder the function of the gallbladder is to store

21
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:49,760
and concentrate the bile secreted by the liver pancreas the pancreas secretes

22
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:55,879
pancreatic juices that help you to provide the enzymes necessary for the

23
00:01:55,879 --> 00:02:06,219
digestion of fats. Small intestine. Liquid food travels into a long, thin tube.

24
00:02:06,219 --> 00:02:12,199
Juiceful nutrients are absorbed through the small intestine into your blood. Your

25
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:18,879
small intestine is lined with millions of tiny bumps called bilii. Food

26
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:28,400
nutrients soak in through the belly into your blood large intestine unwanted food

27
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:36,280
travels into a wider shorter tube called the large intestine your large

28
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:43,599
intestine sucks water out of the leftover food leftover food is squeezed

29
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:52,599
along your large intestine solid waste forms in the large intestine rectum the

30
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:58,120
rectum receives the waste materials that remain after the entire process of

31
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:05,560
digestion of the food constituting phases the rectum is the final part of

32
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:14,979
the large intestine. Enos. Solid waste leaves the body through the anus. The

33
00:03:14,979 --> 00:03:20,979
waste is pushed out of your bottom and it comes out when you go to the loo.
